Garden Extension Tips on Dandelions and Tip Blight
The extension notes advise using 2 4 D amine for dandelions when temperatures reach 60 degrees and growth is active, with early spraying for dry conditions and avoiding windy days. Tip blight is treated by pruning dead tips, removing debris, and applying Bordeaux mixture after new growth appears for several applications. Clover mites are described as household nuisances that do not bite people, with red staining when crushed and ongoing calls about them.
Royalty Gardens and Pest Control Instructions
A horticultural advisory outlines steps against Clover Mites and Euonymus Scale. Remove grass and weeds 18 to 24 inches around foundations, plant nonattracting species like zinnias or marigolds, vacuum mites, then spray exterior areas with Kelthane Tedion Malathion or Diazinon. Euonymus scale shows yellowing foliage, white males, brown oval females, and potential two generations per year. Spray Lime Sulfur or Superior Dormant Oil now and apply Cygon or Malathion in late spring.
